Christina Murphy

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate big life changes and painful relationship moments. She works from a foundation of trust, acceptance and non-judgement to help clients begin to make changes they want. Christina holds BACP which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions focus on practical ways to question old beliefs or rules that no longer serve a person. She uses a mix of talking and therapeutic tools to help someone spot unhelpful patterns. Change can feel scary, and Christina aims to make it feel manageable and sometimes surprisingly quick.

People come to her for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and difficulty with intimacy or trust. She also supports those dealing with anger, sleeping problems, career stress and compassion fatigue. Christina lists divorce and separation among her focus areas and can help people work through the emotional fallout of those events.

Her approach emphasises kindness and self-compassion. Sessions aim to give space to unwanted thoughts and feelings and to tend to them without judgement. The goal is practical movement toward wellbeing, not abstract theory.

Christina invites clients who want a calm, steady presence while they sort through difficult emotions. She encourages small steps that build confidence and open up new possibilities for living differently.

How Christina's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust and fear of abandonment and learn different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, sleeping problems and low mood by breaking down problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and use the most suitable methods in collaboration with them. She aims to keep the process conversational and tailored rather than forcing a single method.

If you are thinking about online sessions, check the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins when life is busy and can reduce the need to travel on difficult days. Confirm the exact session formats offered when you arrange a first meeting so you know what to expect.
